Well hellooooo, whiskers-scratched-on-with-a-spatula! Aren't you just the laziest, most ineffectual things ever! In fact, Miss Hello....[looking around at children]...uh...Crappy, I shall continue snorting derisively at your incompetent creation until I have sufficient pancakes to render myself comfortably comatose.

Oh, Joo-oohn!

B.D., Anony M., Emily D., Crystal P., & Laura M., I just realized the irony: a stack of crackers that looks like pancakes has inspired me to go to a pancake place name Cracker Barrel. It's like the circle of life. With carbs.

Doctors Without Borders (aka MSF) is an international medical humanitarian organization working in more than 60 countries to assist people whose survival is threatened by violence, neglect, or catastrophe. And they rock.

I really like donating for the 12 days of Christmas. Today I donated on the Doctors Without Borders website because I feel like they get more of the donation that way. Please add 5 dollars on the First Giving total! :)

Ya gotta wonder how these wreckerators (the ones that use cupcakes for everything, at least) do on that test where you try to put various pegs in the corresponding holes. "You didn't give me enough round pegs for all these holes! Also, I need a hammer and some frosting."

#2 What is a 'Dromo Queen'?

#3 A low-res rendition of a key part of a low-res game system. Now if someone would kindly explain the fake ivy -- no, real ivy would not make more sense.

#4 Those are *so* pancakes, especially with whatever is going on at the base. Why? (I wonder if anyone has ever tried deliberately to make a cake that looks like a stack of pancakes. A redundant food cake -- this must be done.)

@ Craig: I was thinking Ace of Cakes had made pancakes and a French mouse, but I was mistaken. It was French toast instead. Close!

Hello Kitty....the cake board does appear to be upside down and Kitty seems to be suffering from Cat Scratch Fever. What? The decorators ran out of black icing after they outlined the head and gave it eyes, they had to carve whiskers instead?

I thought Kitty was sticking it's tongue out, but now I realize that's a candle.

Well, good luck one year old. I hope the rest of your birthday cakes get better...

That Nintendo cake was my husband's groom's cake. Here is the story... We did not want the cake like that. We brought the lady the controller so she knew what it looked like. We wanted the whole cake to be the controller. She didnt get it and I guess she thought we wanted the controller on the cake. In answer to someone's question, the cake is from 2007. My husband is a gamer and our idea was great. She just didnt make it how we wanted. She came free with the place we got married, so who is to really complain?

Wow, I missed the whole Hello Kitty boat...I thought it was a bunny, a sad excuse for a bunny, but a bunny none the less! And the comedy/tragedy faces? I think it would be impossible to put less effort into duplicating something! Props to the lady who turned herself in for her Wreck! Off to IHOP we go...stupid pancakes....

Did the baker of the "cracker" cake happen to mention why someone would want a cake that looked like a stack of crackers?And now I'm not going to be able to look at a Hello Kitty without thinking Hello...crappy!

Wow, the irony didn't hit me until you mentioned it. Plus we don't have Cracker Barrels here in good Ol WA so it didn't fully sink in. Neither did the Hello....Crappy until I thought about how Crappy would be inappropriate. Then I laughed and farted at the same time.

I had to re-enter my info to donate again. am i missing something on the donation website that will somehow save my info so i don't have to enter it again every time? because i might as well just go to the homepage of the charity and save them the processing fee if i'm going to have to enter it again each time. just fyi cause i know you tried to make it easier this year:)

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.

Ordering Info
